Jan 31, 2017 (A Wilson) - The hornblende gneiss is slightly mineralized with large flakes of molybdenite, coarse pyrite and pyrrhotite occurring in part in flat sulphide veinlets parallel to the gneissosity. The mineralization is very spotty, some bands of gneiss several feet thick showing none. Cutting the gneiss are several 1 to 4 foot wide pink pegmatite dikes. 1916: G. Padwell - 1300 pounds of hand-picked ore, running 3.85% MoS2
